THE line Of the st. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas from GreenvllIe to Fort Worth
runs by Plano. When great trunk line
railroad deliberately elects to build thirty
two miles further west from Dallas, and
on line that leaves that town fourteen
miles to the south, it is pretty good evil
dence that in railroad opinion Fort Worth
offers connections unequalled at Dallas.
Fort Worth is the railroad center of
Texas and stands between the great west
and all competitors.

THE SOUTH AND IT'S INTERESTS

| THE SOUTH AND ITS INTERESTS
Wide attention has naturally been drawn ia
! the series of articles on the south contributed
! TO the Press by an observant and intelligen;
! staff correspondent They show what the
| south is doing with its own and northern capt
! tai and energy to develop its great natural re
sources and get those advantages which 1t is
entitled to have from them. These letters
cover mary sections and tell the same story OF
progress, development and thrift for each. The
influence al awakened activity in one place is
felt elsewhere, and while all states have not
equal resources, each state has been moved to
search out wat It has and get them employed.
This is not new, particularly day; 1t has
beer in progress for several years, but the ex-
tent Gf 1t has been very little understood in
ether portions Of the country.
1t is not TO the discredit of the south that
much o, this has been done and is now being
done with northern capital and enterprise. The
opportunities offered in the southern states at
the close of the Wsr were apparent, and they
were improved as soon as the rough edge of
presCdice had worn down, and the people of
the south bSgan to appreciate the Importance
of inviting znoney AID men from elsewhere.
The result IS of interes. to the whole country
To enrich the south and make 1t prosperous is
to add so much to the common wealth OF the
country. The opening OF coal mines, the intro
duction OF iron manufacture, the erection OF
cotton mills need produce no Apprehension for
similar industries IN other sections, nbT2Eill
they be likely to do so. The more such enter.
prlses are undertaken the more Will be thksep-s
cGnragement given. aSsl
But with all this development and the invegtzJ
meEt of large capital In manufactures the peoss
pie of the south will need to learn one thiDgs3

TIE Louisville Times says; "In 1875
Fort Worth, Tex, was village OF 1000
inhabitants and without railroad. Now
it is e city of $4,000, with seven roads
and thirteen outlets by rail. 1t is the
most ambitious, pushing, audacious
town in the empire state of the south, and
no mean rival OF Kansas City, St. Louis
and New Orleans, all of which are striv-
ing for the Texas jobbtng trade"

No TIME should be lost in taking the
steps necessary to make Fort Worth wool
market and to make permanent this city's
superiority as cattle market by securing
big live stock yards. Nothing that is
suggested to Fort Worth at this time is
so pregnsnt with permanent good to the
city as the erection of ample live stock
yards and wool securing works. Frovi-
dence helps those who help themselves,
and booms are made, not bern. We have
here the railroad facilities to attract live
stock, and the water for cleansing wool.

ANXIOUS DIAMOND OWNERS.
the Merchants to SOC If Their ems
Have Turned TO Paste.
Pacord


zone might imagine that every family
in Philadelphia into which diamonds have
found their way possessed butler skilled
in the business of a jeweler, and that all
the gems in the city had suddenly turned
to paste" said a well known Chestnut
street diamond merchant yesterday. The
success with which Theodore Hair has
lately substituted paste for gems IN numer?
Gus New York families, where he was
employed as butler, has set half of fash
ionahle Philadelphia by the ears, and
there was rush to the jewelers. Yester-
day by ladies who were ANXIOUS to tind
out whether their glitteriDG ornaments
were genuine stones or only carbon or
paste limitations. There were few dia-
mond experts in the city who were not
sought out and asked to pass upon the
genuineness of stones which their female
owners feared had been tempered with.
Happily no cases in which there is reason
TO suspect that theft had been com
mitted have been reported. The jewellers
can readily detect whether g setting
has been tempered with or not.
Some gems, however, which their fond
owners supposed to be of the first water
were fouGd TO be very ordinary and cheap
diamonds, and some for which large
amounts had been paid were pronounced
by the expert TO be mere b.illisnts, net
much better than the paste limitations. In
these cases, however, the trouble had net
been with skillful and daring servant,
but with the credulity of the owners, VINO
had been cleverly swlndled in the pur-
chase. In the case of the butler, Hair,
in New York on Thursday. several other
victims turned up and it wEs found that
his operations had been extensive. He
wss held for trial.

FARMERS AWAKENING.

President Barrett of the Minnesota
State Farmers Alliance has blunt, plain
way of putting things. In letter TO the
interstate commerce committee Presi-
den: Barrett says that such business as
can be sustained only by the suspension
of the "fourth section" ought not to be
sustained at all. He urges that the bUsi-
ness OF the country should be left to nat
ursl laws. This is sensible view OF the
matter, and now that the farmers are be-
ginning to organize and become q power
in the land, many of the sbsurdities
which have been engrafted upon the
statutes of the country TO 'foster infant
industries will be swept away. The
farmer has long been q sufferer. Unjust
legislation has robbed him annually, end
his patience has encouraged our law
makers to regard him gs an inconsequen-
tial factor in the politics of the country.
He will be heard in the future.
He is beginning to realize his
strength, and politicians willjnot be long
in discovering that the last ditch has been
reached and that the next movement the
farmer makes will be to advance on the
enemy. When the farmer becomes prop
erly aroused tariff absurdities and dis
examinations in favor of monopolies will
cease to exist.

Charles r. LaibliD, the great ecOn0m

Of Stark county wants 1t to be under
stood that he voted yea and no on Com
missioner Schmachtenberger's resOlu-
ti0n to submit to the voters of Stark
county the question Of building new
Inflrmary. He voted no on the preamble
and yes on the resolution. This is the
same statesman who, In the School
Board, reported o measure which had
been referred to committee Of which
he was q member, recommending its
passage and then when 1t came to vote,
he voted No.
These two incidents are good examples
illustrating the mental Caliber Of this
ward politician. Az for his honesty we
refer to the card published In the Be-
pOsitory Of December l3, 1886 As for
his public economy we refer to the
bridge abutment for which he paid "a 80

refer to his boastings of investing large
